3.2 Required Equipment

To configure the Modbus port parameters, you will need either of the

following devices:

V DEC VT100 or equivalent terminal, with a compatible serial cable

V IBM AT or XT or equivalent computer product, running a VT100

terminal emulation program such as PROCOMM PLUS, with a

compatible serial cable.

A listing of compatible terminals and cables is provided in Appendix A.

Some terminal emulation programs, such as PROCOMM PLUS, allow

you to store the keystrokes you use into a `script' file on your disk. This

allows you to duplicate your future configurations from the disk, without

having to key in the parameters. Refer to the documents for your

emulation program for further details.

If you have a printing terminal, or a printer connected to your emulator,

you can print a hard copy record of your BM85 configuration. This will

be helpful in documenting your configuration. Typically, you can use

your terminal's `Print Screen' (or equivalent) key to print the hard copy.
